Waking up to a buzzing alarm clock sucks. I’m one of those people who doesn’t like to wake up before the sun is out (or has been out for many hours). So what better way to make waking up fun than having a bubble party in bed! Using an arduino and a commonly available bubble

I recently had the idea to create a catapult, But not just any kind of catapult, an electronic catapult! I wanted something I could just sit it down hit some buttons and watch it do its thing without being to big. This is what I came up with: It is a little bigger than what

One quick fore note: this is my first Instructable and my first large Arduino project, so if you see any stupid errors or have an idea of how things could be done better, then please let me know. Now that that’s out of the way I’ll begin, I started designing this around September last year as my A2

Over the last few years my family has been keeping ex-battery hens – they are about 18 months old and have had a horrendous life kept cooped up in small cages in large warehouses. As much as we love these little bundles of joys and eggs it can be a drudge getting up in the

Age: 13 Meet Uno the Arduino powered robot. Some functions include a blinking nose, moving antennas, rotating head, IR distance sensor, twin motor gear box and rotation counters. Uno is made with relatively easy to obtain parts. This project provides a good introduction to Arduino. robot.skp475 KB Step 1: Materials Material and tools • Foam board • Fimo • 4 Rare Earth magnets • 4 small metal

The Need: Last week around at work I had another usual un-usual problem to face with. Having to make lots of mechanisms n components to work with-in seconds or fracs at times I kind-of knew this was always coming. And invariably so my poor mind couldn’t think of anything but Arduino for a handy

If your are like me which I am guessing you are, then ever since you got into doing stuff with arduino you have wanted to make your own arduino board. You may be surprised to find out that making the prototyping board is actually very easy, and can have several advantages over using the commercially

Using an Arduino, it is easy to make a speedometer/tachometer for virtually any man-powered vehicle. I made one for my skateboard that used a small magnet to count revolutions and utilized an LCD display screen. This Instructable will show you how you can do the same step by step. You will need a few things

This instructable is a guide for setting up an automated gardening system using an arduino and other cheap electronic parts. It allows sustainable gardening by using sensors to determine soil moisture, as well as a webscraper to determine future weather. It uses this information to save water by only using the requisite amount. Requirements for this project include experience soldering,

Once upon a time, 2 girls greatly enjoyed walking in the rain with umbrellas. They decided the enjoyment of this experience could be maximized by building their own pressure-activated web of LEDs to install under their umbrella. Thus, with the help of an Arduino, some 4051 multiplexers, a lot of wire and a lot of
